Fun Facts about the 991 (please contribute)
some facts I find interesting:
1: with paddle shifters optioned (PDK), you can pull both at same time and hold and car will go into neutral.
2: if you press and hold the "AUTO" button on the A/C it will change to "MONO" mode which allows both sides to become one, controlled by driver side... pressing passenger side then changes back to 2 zone.
3: If wipers are engaged (auto sensing or not) for more than 5 seconds the headlights turn on.
4: When "slamming" on brakes quickly/with much force the car auto applies maximum braking pressure and also engages the hazard lights for safety.
5: Rear Spoiler extends further on models with sunroof (when open) and cabriolet models (unsure if only when top down)

Good facts, I had read most of those in the OM, but #5 is something I hadn't heard yet in relation to the cab.
6) With Porsche Entry and Drive you can unlock the frunk (and doors) by holding your hand below the Porsche crest. Found this by accident when wiping down the car with the key in my pocket
7) The left hand scroll button on the multifunction steering wheel will mute the raidio when depressed.
8) With the rear fog light on & at speeds below 43mph the headlight beams become wider to reduce glare (pretty smart)!

9. If you look hard through the rear or side mirrors you can see if the spoiler is up or down. (I couldn’t tell on the 997 so had to assume it was working. Always wondered why the spoiler button light didn’t go on after 75 and off below 30…)
Number 5 answers why it doesn't have a front fog light switch...thanks!

Great tips!
10. If you only drive your PDK manually, your wife won't know it's an automatic and will never ask to drive it
It's worked so far for me.

With dynamic lights a highway light is activated over 68mph for more than 33 seconds or above 81 mph without delay. There is an increase in light distribution
The xenon light increases from 35w to 37w at 56 mph
